Darling Melancholy

Across the seas
Vision travelling
Reaching the horizon
Or so it seems…
Eyes dissolve into oblivion
Ebbing away… perfume of joy
Melancholy
Residue in my mind
Grey soul sees the discoloured world
Blinds for the sunlight
Caged darkness
Rotting mind
Negativity
Filling the vacuum of melancholy
Omnipresent… lingering…
Mind.. an escapist…
In a faraway land now
